Read the fable. Then read it again and check true or false.

ortoise and Eagle had never met, as Eagle lived high

in a tree and Tortoise lived on the ground. One day,
however, Eagle heard how kind Tortoise was and
decided to go visit him. Tortoise invited Eagle to stay
for dinner. Eagle sat for several hours, eating the
delicious food and admiring Tortoise’s charming home.
Eagle enjoyed the meal so much that he came back
again
and again. Each time he would eat as much as he
could.

Eagle’s visits made life hard for Tortoise. It was expensive to buy
enough food to feed such a large bird. Also, Eagle was very messy, especially when eating. One
day he even broke Tortoise’s lamp and chair with his large, clumsy wings. It
would take Tortoise a long time to clean up after each visit.
However, Eagle didn’t care about the difficulties he
was causing. “Ha! I’ve e ten Tortoise’s food, but he
can never reach my tree to share mine!” he laughed
proudly. One day Frog overheard this. He went to
Tortoise a d said, “You’re too good-natured. Eagle
is taking advantage of you.” Then Frog told him
wwhat
to to do.

On Eagle’s next visit, Tortoise said,“Please, friend, let me

give you a pot of food to take home.” Eagle accepted
the gift and waited while Tortoise went into the kitchen.
Tortoise hid inside a p t a d c lled out, “Here’s your food.”
Eagle grabbed the pot and flew to his home in the trees.
But when he looked into the pot he was surprised to find
only Tortoise. “Hel o,” said Tortoise. “I thought it’d be a nice
change to visit your hom . I look forward to sharing a meal
ou
with you.”

Eagle became angry and said, “You will be the only meal here,
Tortoise!” He tried to eat Tortoise but hurt his beak on
Tortoise’s hard shell. “I see what kind of friend you are,
Eagle. Take me home,” said Tortoise. “I’ll drop you to the
ground and smash you to pieces,” screamed Eagle, and
flew off with Tortoise in his claws. However, Tortoise
grabbed onto Eagle’s leg. “Please let go!” Eagle begged,
trying to shake him off. “Only after you bring me home,”
Tortoise replied. Eagle had no choice but to comply. Once
safely home, Tortoise turned and said, “A friend must be
willing to give as well as receive. You’re not welcome here
anymore.” Then he went inside, leaving Eagle to think
about his selfishness.
